You Know You're From Lafayette If ...

When exiting your car you "get down" not out.

LOL

All my cousins in Nebraska hammered me for years on that one. . .

. . . That is until I came up with a retort and asked them if they hovered when exiting the vehicle.

Get down baby

You know you are from Breaux Bridge or Lafayette if once every 2 years, one of your travel destination is Hillbilly Hilton, Tennessee.

I'm glad to see that i'm not the only one that didn't get a lot of these. I'm 25, lafayette born and raised and was scratching my head on these. Overall I wasn't that impressed. The little jabs at UL didn't really help either.

A lot of them were pretty old. I'm 54 and a few were from before my time, too! The little jabs at UL seem to me to be pretty much SOP from that crowd.

I'm sure most of ya'll remember about a month ago an article in the Independent titled "You Know You're From Lafayette if", and it took a few jabs at UL football. Below is my letter to the editor that was published in the latest edition of The Independent.

Enjoyed the article, grew up in Wine Alley ( I.E. Tin Pan Alley). What about Hoppers drive inn on Johnson St near the campus, or the A&W Drive inn on university ?

Turbine:

Thank you for sending in your letter to the editor. I did not see that article but it is just plain stupid articles like that that need to cease!

Thank you.
